If you have been arrested or charged with a misdemeanor offense in the St Louis area (possession of marijuana, trespassing, disturbing the peace, stealing, etc.), then you should give us a call right away!
Most misdemeanor charges can be taken care of in a positive fashion, either by working out a deal with the local prosecutor or finding a way to get the charges dismissed.
But if you do not hire an attorney, then you are making things unnecessarily difficult for yourself!! Why? Because people who represent themselves will usually do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!So for instance, if you are charged with possession of drug paraphernalia in St Louis, you are going to be hit with a Class A Misdemeanor. This can come with up to one (1) year of jail time and a fine of $1000. But even if the judge does not sentence you to do any time, a guilty plea will result in a criminal conviction becoming a part of your permanent record.
And if a conviction goes on your record, then you will have to deal with the long term consequences that will come with this decision. For example, let’s say you apply for a job in the future. The employer could very easily run a criminal background check on you. He or she will see the conviction, and the chances of you being screened will be very high.
But it does not have to go this way!! There is a much better alternative! And it starts by getting in touch with us!! You can give us a call, shoot us a text, send us an email, or fill out an online form!!
